Letter: Roadside junk makes a horrible first impression

- -This is at the top of the off ramp from rt 490 East bound on the bridge over rt490 heading Eastbound showing the trash on the roadway. no reporter Democrat and Chronicle staff photos by Burr Lewis 052899

Will it take the filming of the new Spider-Man movie, the Lilac Festival, or the PGA Championship to motivate the state, city or county to finally remove the trash from our roadways and expressway ramps? Obviously the fact that residents continue to view this disgusting landscape season after season is not enough inspiration to do something about it.

As the film company solicits extras for their movie, why are we not utilizing the "extra" prisoners residing in jail to perform a valuable community service?

If cameras were placed in chronic locations for litter as they are for red light runners, the resulting fines would fill the city's coffers from the idiotic drive-by-trashers that create this ever-present eyesore.

Please clean up the mess. After all, company's coming.
